And Then There Were Eight...

Hard to believe I've only posted once in nearly two years. Kind of lets you know how very busy my life has been lately. Ok, not so much busy.. as it's been "complicated,".. as in an "I wouldn't even know where to start" sort of way. So now you know you'll most likely have THAT blog to eventually look forward to... :)

But I have to finally pause on this Sunday afternoon to put all craziness aside to finally document the birth of this beautiful little girl who was born just a little over 2 months ago. On the 4th of July to be exact. And though names like Liberty (Libby for short), America, July and other sundry patriotic suggestions came in from all sides of the family, this sweet little girl was given a name that her parents had been tossing around (backwards and forwards) for many months...

And it fits her just perfectly.

And now coming from a Grandma who has never (ever) before been able to hold a newborn grandchild on the actual day of its birth... or to see it grow from day to day, week to week, month to month... wow!. this has been just such an incredibly special experience and blessing and I am so very thankful to be right here in this exact place and time!

And she has the best brothers and sister who absolutely adore and would do anything to protect her!

Perhaps her parents should have named her Lucky... :)
